2022-06-18, new pics page 1; modifying predator legs and feet to be dragon-ish

Creating dragon-man using MageCraft lord-of-the-print 3d lizard folk torso and billikin predator.
MageCraft was kind enough to make me a special 1/6 scale custom print of their lizard folk creature torso.
Will modify predator legs and feet to be dragon-ish.
Will add a tail (not sure from another kit or scratch sculpt).
May add some horns to the head and back spikes.

Working on detailing feet and legs.
Feet are a bit larger than I like, but they need to be to ensure balancing spear out front and tail in back.
Cut off back of leg thigh and shin armor to expose back of legs and make it less of a predator look.
Maybe I should remove lower leg armor altogether.?
Plan to add tail from a Kothoga kit.
I have the 4 foot Kothoga kit, so it was easy to sacrifice the small kit .
I may have him holding a rope sack with the cut off Kothoga head in it ?

Now it is starting to come together.
I can see where you are going now. I had a vague idea before, but now that it is really taking shape, I am liking what I see.

Thanks loborex , hmmm, predator pebbly skin is much easier said than done….
I was trying for a more dino/dragon scaly like skin, so let’s see what it looks like after initial paint .
I sincerely appreciate your feedback and suggestions!

Some more blocking in of base colors.
Black metal parts will be made into gold or bronze metallic
Light tan parts will be made into darker leather color
Lots of green and possibly black washes , and cleaning up of paint edges to do.

.

AND I missed this wee bugger !!!!! #-o

Really like this one too !!!!! - everything came together beautifully - the paint included.

You make this stuff look so easy Joe (and I blimmin' well KNOW it isn't!)

Thanks again for taking the time to share all your work here for us.

Now if only I can keep on top of your bashes in future . . . I must have missed some "thread update" emails . . . or maybe it's the voices in my head taking control again (time to re-address the medication again methinks :-k 8-[ ).
